Fwd: AusNOG 2012 Call For Presentations
In case anyone wants a trip down under in September. Mark. Original Message Subject: AusNOG 2012 Call For Presentations Date: Mon, 9 Apr 2012 20:25:30 +0930 From: Matthew Moyle-Croft m...@mmc.com.au To: aus...@ausnog.net (aus...@ausnog.net) aus...@ausnog.net Call for presentations for AusNOG 2012 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Langham Hotel **Melbourne** 6 7 September, 2012 Notes =-=-=- The AusNOG organisers have decided to change the name of the conference to reflect the year instead of the number of the event. So this year's conference is going to be known as AusNOG 2012. It's hoped this will remove some confusion. AusNOG 2012 is being held in Melbourne for the first time. The organisers encourage Melbourne based network operators, especially those that have not previously attended an AusNOG, will take advantage of this opportunity to not only attend the meeting but also present! Topics =-=-=-= Internet operations can be a broad topic and the presentation selection committee will be short-listing presentations in the following focus areas: * Improving the redundancy/resiliency/sustainability of your network * Making leaps in service or network availability * Taking the network operations BCP to the next level * Using 'offline' communications tools to keep the network working * How technology is changing network architectures * Evolution in network architectures and scaling issues Other topics which are of interest to the network operator community are also welcome at AusNOG 2012. Naturally, presentations of a marketing nature are not welcome at this technical event. Notes to presenters =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Preference will be given to presentations that result in actual operational outcomes. Session speakers should be prepared to present for 30 minutes. Keynote speakers will be expected to present for 45 minutes to 1 hour. Short presentations of strong operational content are also acceptable. Once the final slides are submitted, changes will only be permitted where the presentation requires the most up to date information or data. By submitting a presentation for consideration in the AusNOG 2012 programme, and if selected the presenter will allow AusNOG to: * Take photographs of the presentation and presenter. * Record and rebroadcast video and audio of the presentation and presenter. * Redistribute, the presentation slides, audio, video, and photographs electronically, on the AusNOG website, or otherwise but leaving all intellectual property in the hands of presenter or rightful property holder where possible[1]. Deadlines =-=-=-=-=- 01 June: Submission of presentation title, presentation description (300 words), and presenter biography (200-400 words) 15 July: Presenters notified of their acceptance status as an AusNOG 2012 presentation. August 29: Submission of final presentation slides as Portable Document Format (pdf), PowerPoint, or Keynote. Provision of a recent digital photograph (500k) of the presenter. All submissions must be sent to organisers at ausnog.net. A separate call for lightning talks will be made closer to the AusNOG 2012 event [1]: AusNOG accepts that some speakers are unable to allow us to archive their presentation due to company or corporate policy, and if the situation arises AusNOG will delete all copies in its possession after the presentation.

I looked back through the archives for the last year and the only other SORBS mentions were in July and August of last year. I last worked at an ISP back in 2006, so this may not be relevant today. I do remember however relying pretty much exclusively on Spamhaus. Originally used SORBS too but found they were overly aggressive on what they'd add to their RBL. Maybe great if you're an individual user, but not so great to be blocking all of yahoo/gmail, etc as an ISP. Don't think they were as frustrating to deal with as Spamcop though :) Ray

The problem with companies that are in questionable/bad financial shape is that they defund many activities that do not seem important but actually are. These, such as abuse handling, will actually cause them to increase their spiral down by causing more customers away. For the 3 months ending 2011-12-31 (last quarter available), Yahoo!'s revenue was US$1.3B, with a net income of nearly US$300M - for the _quarter_. I wish I were in such questionable/bad financial shape. Before anyone pounces, yes, I know they're not growing. The results above up slightly from Q3 2011, although down slightly (~5%) from Q4 2010. But they still make more revenue profit than 99.mumble% of the companies represented on this list. And they have more than enough to do abuse correctly. Perhaps more importantly, I seriously doubt Yahoo! mail is going away any time soon. -- TTFN, patrick

I looked back through the archives for the last year and the only other SORBS mentions were in July and August of last year. I've had nothing but sore issues with SORBS and getting removed from whatever black list was getting us blocked by participating mail systems. Our ARIN allocation is: 67.217.144.0/20 and SORBS had us listed within a larger black listed range, like the containing /12. It took us weeks to be removed from that range (or to have an exception added). This was probably a couple of years ago, or early last year. -- Dan White
FYI Coresite xconn price increases
Just as an FYI, anyone with space and xconns in a Coresite facility (e.g. OW) might want to double check their recent invoices. Coresite more than doubled our MRC on existing and new fiber xconns. I have heard from others that they also had the same increase across the board for all xconns at all locations. We had this more than double price increase on our latest invoices even at locations where we, by contract, locked in our xconn prices. We are fighting this with their folks now. It appears that they did a global search and replace in their billing system for xconn prices without regard to the actual contract. -DMM
Re: The day SORBS goes away ...
Generally when faced with SORBS related blocking, I have found it far more effective to contact the receiving side and show them the ample Google history about SORBS and the effect it has on their ability to receive email their customers/employees have requested, and have them either change their email policies, or their executives change their email admins. I'm honestly amazed these days every time I run into someone still blocking based on SORBS, or even giving a non insignificant point score as such. -Blake

If you were to move dialups.mail-abuse.org below zen.spamhaus.org
(assuming these are checked in the order they're entered in the config),
I'm curious if dialups.mail-abuse.org would block anything. If it did,
I'd be curious if those were FPs. :)

ATT DSL bypass first line
I've been an ATT DSL customer for 3+ years, with no issues until they started sending people into my neighborhood to start retrofitting for UVerse. Since they've visited, my PPPoE has dropped once an hour, many times requiring me to restart my router (Cisco 877) to get my virtual interface to come back up. Speaking with the front line on the phone has given me nothing but problems (in their defense, I do have a non-standard modem) -- could someone with knowledge provide me with a way to bypass the CSRs and speak to someone with clue to work out debug logs and figure out why I am suddenly an unhappy ATT customer? -- Brandon Ewing(nicot...@warningg.com) pgpKhgTBbz9Ev.pgp Description: PGP signature

Although your problems with the service provider are definitely not good, one might also make the observation that if you're needing to reboot your router to get it to take action again, then it might not exactly be blameless itself... -- Nathan Anderson First Step Internet, LLC nath...@fsr.com
Cheap Juniper Gear for Lab
Hello All, I am tasked with replacing an old linux router setup with Juniper gear in the near future. Though I am a Cisco guy myself. Does anyone know of any older cheap Juniper gear I might find on Ebay so that I may build a home lab without going broke?
